I’m a technical, creative and results-driven Graphic Designer with +20 years of experience in visual communication, branding, print and signs production. I design across multiple materials, processes, and graphic industry technologies, from traditional printing to cutting-edge CNC, flatbed and digital fabrication. I’m skilled in brand implementation at national and international levels, technical file preparation for packaging, structure and large-format projects, and supervising design-to-production workflows. In addition to industry practice, I have experience as a university professor in fields such as Graphic Design, Industrial Design, and Marketing, where I share hands-on knowledge about design processes and production workflows.
